  • Shon Hiatt: Lithium and the Salton Sea

    Shon Hiatt: Lithium and the Salton Sea
    Jun 17 2025
    Lithium - it's the third element on the periodic table, but most of us don't know too much about it besides that it's in electric car batteries. This week on Sea Change Radio, we welcome University of Southern California Business Professor Shon Hiatt to learn more about the lithium industry - how this mineral is mined, its importance to the energy and transportation sectors, and why lithium’s market price has collapsed over the past few years. We use the enormous lithium deposits in Southern California’s Salton Sea as a jumping off point for a larger conversation about all things lithium, including the environmental impacts of its extraction.

  • Pam Walaski and Crystal Kolden: Dealing With Extreme Temps

    Pam Walaski and Crystal Kolden: Dealing With Extreme Temps
    Jun 10 2025
    As summer season starts to heat up, it’s important to remember that soaring temps endanger the lives of millions. Unfortunately, the federal government is not doing much to help. There are absolutely no federal statutes guaranteeing the rights of workers to legally leave their workplace to prevent heat injury (incidentally, as we discussed in previous episodes of Sea Change Radio, there are no federal laws protecting incarcerated people from extreme temperatures, either). This week on Sea Change Radio we speak with Pam Walaski, the President of the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP), about the heat-related health workplace guidelines her organization is trying to introduce into OSHA standards. Then we dig into the Sea Change Radio archives to learn more about wildfire prevention and safety from Crystal Kolden, a professor at UC Merced who’s also a former firefighter.

  • Will Potter: Factory Farming and the Myth of the Little Red Barn

    Will Potter: Factory Farming and the Myth of the Little Red Barn
    Jun 3 2025
    Did you know that this country has a host of so-called “ag-gag” laws in place that criminalize the work of photographers and journalists who expose abuses on factory farms? This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with investigative journalist Will Potter whose new book, “Little Red Barns: Hiding the Truth, from Farm to Fable,” gives us a dark but thought-provoking view of factory farming. We talk about his research, hear what it reveals about our food system and this country’s veering towards fascism, and look at how American agriculture has changed over the past century.
